Laloofah -- Well, had plans already to go to the big farmers market in Corvallis, Oregon on Saturday (today). It's huge, beautiful, lots of fun, music around every corner, and lots of folks in a good mood. thanks for the nice comment -- barbara
Great shot, and it reminds me I'm going to be taking a tour tomorrow of one of our new breweries in the Asheville area...it's not open yet, so they call it a hard hat tour (without the hard hats). we are required to wear closed-toe shoes however. Barb
Barb -- I wonder if when they do open they will offer free samples? I didn't attend the drink fest -- I was off to Corvallis, Oregon to enjoy (finally) a beautiful breezy day without the horrid heat we have been having. Have a good time touring -- is it a micro-brew type of place? -- barbara
Florence -- I guess this is a regular event in the town? I didn't get the history of the drink fest so I can't say anything for positive about it. I usually try to find out a little bit about a subject when I photograph but it was so hot I just took my few photos and left. I really was drawn to the metal tones of the containers and the metal building in the shot -- that is what attracted me -- then I realized the metal drums were kegs of beer :)) thanks -- barbara
I see yesterday's comment didn't reach you so I'll try again today. I merely said that I am often amazed that you see a photographic composition in something I would pay no attention to. These beer kegs would never seem a subject yet they make a good picture and tell us something about the town. You have a wonderful talent.
June -- thanks for your nice comment. This photo was a surprise to me too. I wasn't planning on taking a bunch of beer kegs when I set out to take photos that day. It is just that all the gray metal with contributing accents of blue just kinda formulated the shot and I snapped it. Most photos I take are spontaneous rather than planned. I really like taking photographs of the everyday non-staged world. Again thanks -- barbara
Rita -- I am not a fan of beer kegs either but I liked the blue and gray colors, the competing squares and circles, and the various heights in the combo I saw -- so click, click -- a photo emerged. I didn't go to the event. I went to the Corvallis Farmers Market instead. thanks for stopping -- barbara
So, you goin'? :-) You're definitely doing some fun exploring since getting out to the PNW! Good for you!

DeleteParty on, Wayne!
ReplyDeleteBirdman -- Wayne must be a friend of yours? -- barbara
DeleteBeer and the Northwest go together! I always drink too much beer when I'm there.
ReplyDeleteHattie -- I always thought that the Northwest was wine country. Now I realize that beer is popular as well -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteI'm not a fan of beer kegs, but I like the abstract compostion & the silvry quality of your photo. Did you go to the event?
